Your cart is empty.The popular Strad Pad let's you play with poise and assurance, helping to make practice pleasant! The Strad Pad is attractive and neat. No more fussing with bulky, unsightly, insecure, makeshift protection. It maintains a tonal clarity which a handkerchief cannot achieve and the pad, attached by a simple Velcro system, rests directly on the chinrest and not the instrument. You'll be impressed by the comfort supplied by this foam cushioned pad. It is easily detachable but need not be removed to fit into your case. It is also washable. Strad Pads are highly recommended for students. This model is the original beige colored standard size.

I love these things! This is the third one I've bought. Originally had one for like 10 years. Replaced it, had it for another 10 years. Bought a new violin and bought a new one. Prevents the dreaded violin hickey. And it's so comfortable! When i play other violins without a Strad Pad I'm always thrown off by how hard and angular the chin rests are. Buy it. It's awesome.

Excellent product! Prevents the edge of the chinrest from digging into my jaw. I like the way this pad wraps over the edge of the chinrest and the violin. It is quite a bit more comfortable than the gel pad type which leaves the edge of the chinrest exposed.

The product works as intended, it’s soft, however I wish it was a touch longer so it protected the neck a little more. But the backing on the Velcro was impossible to get off. We never did get it all- it tore apart leaving part on the sticky side, so it doesn't adhere fully to the chin rest. For the cost, that should not happen. It makes me wonder how old they are.

I really like using this. I always felt like my chin rest was digging into my neck. The strad pad is soft and slightly cushioned. It sticks to the chin rest and covers most of the hardware on the bottom of the violin. The tan color is fine - I would use it for a performance. Yes, it is expensive, but I've learned over the years that trying to cut costs in this hobby costs more in the long run.

It is VERY comfortable to use this.What I disliked is how you have to attach it to your chin rest. Although you can remove it, I see it as impossible to reattach it back. I wish that there was nothing else than a just plain rubber, but there's an annoying sticky inside.

I've had irritation issues on my neck from the wood piece. Been using clothes / some gels, but this is working out great.It seems to hold better against the pressure from my neck as well (the L shape curve seems to be helping it to stay on its place). I used a black gel piece before which was glued on, but it came off after some use from the heat & pressure from playing.

Gives comfort only problem use if rubber bands thought it had different strap

Siempre ha sido el mejor. Le doy 5 estrellas a pesar de que lo considero un poco caro, si hubiera estado en oferta o más barato compro más.
